MERIMA

Careers | Key Account Developer

Janika Elo — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:36:10 +0000

We don’t just win projects. We make better solutions possible. The world’s most demanding shipbuilding projects do not need just more suppliers. They need people who see opportunities where others see limitations. People who dare to ask better questions, challenge conventional thinking, and create solutions that deliver genuine value to the customer’s business.

Do you recognize yourself? Great!

Your mission is making a difference before the project even begins. At Merima, we believe the best projects do not start with a quotation. They start with understanding what the customer is truly trying to achieve and finding the best way to get there together.

As a Key Account Developer, you will drive the growth and commercial success of strategic customer accounts. You will help our customers identify new opportunities, make better investment decisions, and build successful projects. You will lead complex sales initiatives from opportunity identification through negotiations and long-term agreements.

In this role, you will:

See beyond the request. Understand your customers’ business and decision-making processes, identify new opportunities, and develop strategic accounts with a long-term perspective.
Challenge what is possible. Question established solutions and help customers make better decisions by introducing new perspectives and alternatives.
Turn opportunities into profitable growth. Expand the business potential of key accounts and lead significant sales opportunities, negotiations, and contracts in a profitable manner.
Bring the best of Merima together. Connect Merima’s experts and capabilities around the customer’s objectives and ensure the best solutions are created through collaboration.
Build relationships that last. Build trust, influence customer decision-making, and develop partnerships whose value continues to grow from project to project.

Your success will not be measured only by projects won, but by the value we create together with our customers.

Could you be one of us?

We are looking for a commercially minded professional who sees beyond individual projects and knows how to make things happen.
You have experience in demanding B2B solution and value-based sales, strategic account development, and managing significant commercial opportunities.
You know how to influence customer decision-making, build relationships with senior executives, and negotiate agreements that balance customer value, risk management, and profitable business outcomes.
You can lead complex initiatives across organizational boundaries and leverage customer insights, market intelligence, and data to drive commercial decision-making.
You are curious, willing to challenge constructively, and ambitious in delivering results. You take ownership, keep your promises, and understand that meaningful success is never achieved alone.
The role requires a relevant commercial or technical education, fluency in Finnish and English, and willingness to travel internationally.

What’s in it for you?

Real challences, responsibilities and impact. Merima is growing and evolving. We are continuously developing our international business, our offering, and the way we create value for customers and partners.

You will have the opportunity to influence strategic customer relationships, commercial success, and the future direction of Merima. You will be supported by strong technical and commercial expertise, an international operating environment, and the freedom to grow and continuously improve the way we work.

The Merima Experience is not just a promise to our customers. It’s how we work with each other. Our values, We Take Care, We Own It Together, We Keep Raising the Bar, are visible in everything we do, every day.

Ready to raise the bar?

We do not only want to hear where you have worked. We want to hear whose thinking you have successfully changed, what new value you created, and why it mattered.

Please submit your application and CV by 2.11.2026. We will review applications throughout the application period.

For more information about the role, please contact CCO Teija Sipilä (teija.sipila@merima.fi).

Merima Publishes its first Sustainability Report in line with the VSME Standard

Sandra Lamppu — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 10:05:34 +0000

Merima has published its first Sustainability Report, marking an important milestone in the company’s journey toward greater transparency and more systematic sustainability management. The report has been prepared in accordance with the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for non-listed SMEs (VSME), using both the Basic and Comprehensive modules.

The report provides an overview of Merima’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and lays the foundation for future sustainability development and reporting. It also reflects the company’s commitment to integrating sustainability into business operations and decision-making.

“This first sustainability report reflects both our progress and the areas where we need to develop. We are committed to continuous improvement and to building Merima’s future in a responsible, sustainable and resilient way.” –Mikko Mäkiranta, CEO, Merima

Among the key highlights of the report are:

Completion of Merima’s first double materiality assessment, identifying climate change, circular economy, own workforce and business conduct as the company’s most material sustainability topics.
Calculation of Merima’s first Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions inventory and completion of a comprehensive climate risk assessment.
Continued investment in employee development and a strong focus on occupational health and safety with a long-term objective of zero accidents.
Strengthening governance through updated ethical principles, a supplier code of conduct, data protection initiatives and enhanced cybersecurity governance.

As a family-owned company, Merima is committed to building a resilient business for the long term. The company’s first sustainability report strengthens its understanding of key environmental, social and governance topics and provides a foundation for continuous improvement in the years ahead. It also reflects the growing importance of sustainability reporting across the maritime and shipbuilding value chain and supports transparent collaboration with customers, partners and other stakeholders.

A renewed brand. Raising our ambition for the Merima Experience.

Susanna Muurman-Ovaska — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 14:50:00 +0000

Merima is introducing a renewed brand as we enter the next chapter of our growth. But when we brought our people together to introduce it, we didn’t start with a logo.

We started with Merima DNA. Where we came from. What we have learned along the way. What we want to hold on to as we grow. And where we still need to become better.

“The goal was never simply to create a new visual identity. We wanted to look at Merima as a whole: what we want to preserve as we grow, where we need to raise our ambition, and how that should eventually be experienced by our customers, partners and people.
The brand gives this ambition an identity and a language. The real work is turning it into everyday choices, behaviours, ways of working and interactions.”

Teija Sipilä
CCO, Brand Renewal Project Lead

Building on what is already here

Our work around culture and values started years before the brand renewal. This project has given us an opportunity to connect that work more closely with our brand and the wider Merima Experience. We are also open about the fact that we are not there yet. There are things in our leadership, tools and ways of working that we want to improve – and strengths in our people and culture that we want to hold on to as Merima grows.

“Over the years, we have spent a lot of time listening to our people and discussing what matters to us, what we want to hold on to and what needs to evolve. Bringing this work together with the renewed brand and the Merima Experience helps us make it increasingly visible in everyday life – in how we lead, work together and develop Merima.”

Minna Mäkiranta-Blyth, CAO & Legal Counsel and Annika Eihola, CHRO

Giving the next chapter a new expression

Merima’s identity has evolved as the company has grown. The renewed visual identity continues that evolution – respecting where we came from while creating a more distinctive, consistent and flexible expression for where we are going next.

Starting the next chapter together

The renewed brand was introduced internally at the Merima Experience Day. We looked at where Merima came from, what is changing around us, what we want to carry forward and where we need to raise our ambition. Equally important was giving people room to react, ask questions and discuss openly. The Merima Experience cannot be created by a brand project and handed to an organisation as a finished answer. It becomes real through the people who create it every day.

In one of the day’s activities, our people added their thoughts, experiences and individual marks to a graffiti wall. The renewed Merima symbol was then painted across it.

Many individual marks. One Merima.

Growth also means letting go

As Merima has grown, the way the company is led has had to evolve too. For CEO Mikko Mäkiranta, that has also meant learning to trust people enough not to be involved in everything.

“One thing I have had to learn as Merima has grown is to let go. You can’t know everything, make every decision or be involved in everything anymore – and you shouldn’t.
I haven’t known every detail of this renewal or everything the team has been building. Seeing it come together has been a good reminder of what growth also means for me as a leader: trusting capable people, giving them responsibility and sometimes allowing yourself not to know exactly what comes next.”

Mikko Mäkiranta
CEO, Merima

The same applies to what happens after the launch. A renewed brand can provide direction, but making it real cannot belong to one project team, function or leader. It is built over time by many people, through the choices they make and the actions they take every day.

A renewal designed to happen responsibly

The renewed Merima identity will gradually become visible across our locations, digital environments, customer and partner touchpoints, workwear and other materials. The full rollout is expected to take approximately two years – intentionally.

A new logo is not a reason to throw away something that still works. Existing materials and equipment will continue to be used where it makes sense. Safety and workwear, for example, will be renewed as actual replacement needs arise, rather than simply because they carry the previous identity. The same principle will guide the wider rollout: making thoughtful use of what we already have and avoiding unnecessary waste.

Made together

Bringing the renewed brand and the Merima Experience Day to life took many people and partners.

A warm thank you to 358 for partnering with us on the brand renewal, Moodis for creating the Merima Experience Day with us, Koskenranta for the setting, Aki Rask for photography and video, Graphic Room and Susanna Muurman for the inspirational event materials, and Painotalo Trinket for bringing the designs to life.

Thank you also to every supplier and partner who contributed materials, expertise and work – and to the Merima team behind the planning and organisation.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who participated, shared their thoughts, asked questions and made the day their own.

The renewed Merima identity is now beginning to become visible. The Merima Experience behind it will take longer to develop. We are not presenting a finished version of Merima. We are becoming clearer about what we want to hold on to, where we want to become better and the experience we want to create as we grow.

A renewed brand marks the beginning. The bigger work happens every day.

Merima continues long-term growth journey in France

Sandra Lamppu — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 07:09:12 +0000

France is a key priority of Merima’s global operations and growth strategy. Merima is building its presence through expertise, mutual learning, strong execution, close collaboration, and a focus on reliable delivery.

The delivery of the world’s largest sailing yacht, Orient Express Corinthian, marks a major milestone in Merima’s expansion into the French shipbuilding market.

The delivery of Corinthian’s sister ship Olympian is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The scope of the work Merima is delivering is similar to the Corinthian, and construction is currently proceeding ahead of schedule.

Merima has established a local team in France and is continuing to strengthen its role in the French shipbuilding industry through long-term partnerships and local collaboration.

Built on expertise, execution and reliability

We ensure that delivery reliability is top-notch and commitment to customers is our utmost priority”, says John Forsell, Vice President of Merima.

“Anyone who has set out to build a business in a new country knows that it is a multi-stage learning journey. With a strong track record of more than 750 projects, we have strengths to lean on. At the same time, we approach learning with humility and are hungry to continue developing”, continues Forsell.

More about Orient Express Corinthian

Corinthian is a combination of yacht and liner, a luxury vessel with 54 luxury suites, each of them offering panoramic sea views. More than simply a voyage, the Orient Express Corinthian invites guests to travel through the tangible world and the world of art, all in elegant comfort. The vessel was built entirely in France, and its stunning architecture is the work of Maxime d’Angeac studio. The Corinthian features groundbreaking “SolidSail” technology, consisting of three rigid sails, each spanning 1,500 square meters.

Logistics and seamless workflows at the heart of the new space

Merima is a family-owned company with nearly 40 years of experience and an internationally recognised expert on demanding full-scope maritime projects. The company delivers high-quality newbuild and refurbishment projects for cruise vessels globally, with a focus on the most demanding and complex assignments. Smooth logistics and efficient working days are essential to how Merima operates.

“This move strengthens our ability to serve our customers at an even higher level and creates the conditions for sustainable growth. Our own ways of working and processes need to be in order because we support our clients across the full project lifecycle, from the earliest sketches right through to the final finishing touches, and we also provide ongoing support. The new facilities are being designed to make it easy for people to connect and work even more efficiently”, says Mäkiranta.

Project Controller Kaisa Mäntynen

Janika Elo — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 10:43:17 +0000

Merima crew member

From internship to award-winning career: my decade-long journey at Merima

Kaisa joined Merima in January 2015 as an intern while studying for her Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA), working in the finance department. Little did she know that those eight weeks would shape the next decade of her career, full of challenges, opportunities, and growth.

Kaisa’s journey at Merima perfectly showcases the diverse career paths the company offers. Starting as an intern in the finance department, she transitioned through roles in project coordination, on-site project work in Japan and Germany, and eventually into her current position as a Project Controller. Her ability to adapt, learn, and excel across various roles highlights Merima’s commitment to fostering growth and exploring new challenges.

A passionate advocate for the company, Kaisa motivates and encourages her colleagues, always focusing on collaboration and improvement. It’s no surprise that her dedication and impact earned her the title of Employee of the Year 2023.

Name

Kaisa Mäntynen

Job title

Project Controller

Member of merima crew

Since 2015

Location

Helsinki

“Merima’s management team has consistently supported my development, often identifying new challenges for me before I even realized I needed them. Whether it’s offering training opportunities or encouraging me to explore different roles (even abroad), they’ve ensured I get new challenges so that my career is always evolving.”

Once her internship came to an end, Merima offered Kaisa the opportunity to join full-time as a Project Coordinator. A few months later, she was given the chance to support a project on-site in Japan for a couple of weeks, handling invoices and processing working visas. Those two weeks turned into 18 months.

During her time in Nagasaki, Kaisa completed two major projects with Mitsubishi. “Even though the working culture was vastly different, the support from my colleagues made it easier to navigate. I even picked up a bit of Japanese – though I’ve forgotten most of it now!

From Japan, Kaisa moved to Germany, where she started getting deeply involved in the project teams, managing purchasing, working directly with suppliers, spending more time on-site, and joining sea trials on the vessels Merima built. “Those two years in Papenburg were intense – we worked quite long days, but it was incredibly rewarding. It felt like we were part of something tangible and exciting, and the team was amazing!”

Kaisa is currently a Project Controller at Merima, focusing on overseeing project financials, including cost tracking, margin analysis, and regular reviews with project teams. She also handles all sales invoicing and uses her on-site experience to guide and support teams, ensuring collaboration between finance and project execution.

Culture and support: The Merima Way

Speaking of why Kaisa has spent a decade of her career at Merima, she adds: “One of the things I’ve always appreciated about Merima is the culture. There’s no strict hierarchy—if you need something, you can reach out to anyone, even the CEO.”

“We also focus heavily on collaboration. Finance teams at other companies might stay in the background, but at Merima, we actively work with project teams to find ways to make their lives easier. This approach led to a special moment last year when I was voted Employee of the Year. It’s rare for someone with a background in finance to win that award, but it felt great to know that my colleagues valued the support I provide.”

“If you’re considering a career at Merima, my advice is simple: Do it! You’ll have the support you need to succeed, work with fantastic colleagues, and tackle exciting, challenging projects. You’ll also have opportunities to grow—both professionally and personally.”

Outside of work, Kaisa is passionate about sports and enjoys spending time with her family. She played basketball for 14 years and recently started CrossFit.

Mein Schiff 7 | A Spectacular Entertainment and Sports Experience

Cruise ship

Mein Schiff 7

Merima was proud to be responsible for the impressive theatre, multi-complex outdoor decks, sports court, and kids’ club aboard the newly launched Mein Schiff 7, the latest addition to TUI Cruises’ fleet. Mein Schiff 7 is the seventh vessel where Merima has delivered comprehensive steel-to-steel interior solutions.

Mein Schiff 7 accommodates 2,534 passengers and 1,000 crew/staff members, with 12 restaurants and bistros, 15 bars and lounges, and a large wellness complex.

Accommodating 2,534 passengers and 1,000 crew members, this vessel features 12 restaurants and bistros, 15 bars and lounges, and an expansive outdoors and wellness complex. Completing this challenging project on schedule reflects Merima’s dedication to delivering excellence, and we take great pride in successfully completing this highly demanding steel-to-steel project.

Sophisticated entertainment theatre

Central to Mein Schiff 7 is its three-story, 2,500 m² theatre, equipped with state-of-the-art stage technology and acoustics that evoke a concert hall experience. With extensive experience developing theatres for previous Mein Schiff vessels, Merima was well-prepared to deliver another first-rate venue that promises unforgettable entertainment for guests from around the world.

Additionally, Merima developed the Schaubühne auditorium, an intimate 150-seat venue located on the Starfish deck. This area hosts a variety of performances, from stand-up comedy to magic shows and acrobatics, enhancing the ship’s entertainment options with unique, smaller-scale events.

Despite significant challenges during the installation process, Merima’s world-class Project Managers successfully delivered a flawless space on time and within budget.

Mein Schiff 7

Outdoor deck – combining activity and relaxation

The ambitious 4,000 m² outdoor deck seamlessly blends sports, leisure, and entertainment. Designed as a multipurpose space, it includes areas for basketball, open-air movie screenings, and a spectator stand for live events. Merima’s design provides a vibrant mix of active and relaxing experiences for guests to enjoy.

A standout feature of the outdoor deck is the expansive children’s area, divided into four tailored sections to suit different age groups. Each section is equipped with age-appropriate, tailored materials, safety features, and engaging designs to ensure children have a fun and immersive experience.

The deck also features four large drink and grill bars, each manufactured in-house at Merima’s production facility. Integrated into aluminium and steel canopies, these bars provide shaded areas where guests can unwind and dine, adding a refined touch to the deck’s overall atmosphere.

On the upper deck, Merima was also responsible for smaller areas like the Teens and Game lounges, designed to further enhance the ship’s family-friendly appeal.

Mein Schiff 7

Effective problem-solving fosters strong partnership

A large portion of the materials used throughout the ship were produced in-house at Merima’s factories, complemented by our extensive network of partners and suppliers who provided innovative solutions to complex challenges. This collaborative approach proved highly effective, enabling us to deliver everything on time and to the highest standards.

The outdoor areas faced unpredictable weather, including a sudden snowstorm that brought 30cm of snow onto the deck as late as April. This added pressure to an already tight deadline. Yet, the team remained undeterred and we’re immensely proud to contribute to the creation of this remarkable ship and can’t wait for people to experience it just as we envisioned!
